Hello, What are the best software packages for maintaining a classifieds site, either freeware or not too expensive, and with accessible source code (it doesn't have to be "open-source" strictly speaking (I don't intend to modify and redistribute it), but it has to be customizable / maintainable)? It also should be multilingual. Any s...
I'm currently looking into using XSLT 2.0, but I cannot find any open-source java implementations (Saxon-B seems to fit the bill, but isn't schema-aware). Am I missing something? ...
For reference, I have attempted to search for something similar to what I'm looking for here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/188495/open-source-virgin-what-steps-to-take http://stackoverflow.com/questions/184231/how-do-i-join-an-open-source-project http://stackoverflow.com/questions/240972/getting-started-with-open-source http://...
I'm seriously starting to think that I need to fork an open source project, for it to suit my own needs. I've sent patches to the original author, but the responses have been pretty terse and, well, unwelcoming. Anyhow. I've read the question Forking an open source project nicely, but this doesn't answer my more specific question: What...
My company has to crunch a lot of data and part of the process involves running the solver and plotting a graph through resulting data points. Obviously there is a lot of copy and paste involved and the whole process is shaky, error prone and all round cluster-fudge. I was wondering if there was an alternative to the solver that can be u...
I am interested to join an Open Source project using .net; I would like to be able to choose between a mature project and a starting one, as well as other criteria. What do you suggest? (specific projects are welcomed). Later edit: I am disappointed by the arrogant comments / answers received so far. Picking an OS project to contribu...
Many of us use open source software to make our jobs easier. Sometimes, we may come across a tweak or small fix to the open source project, and we would like to contribute that back to the project itself. The problem is that software that you develop on company time often belongs to the company itself. Does your company allow you to p...

Key features: Good project organization Unit testing Design patterns Follows good OO design principles Clear, human-readable code VB.NET is preferred, but C# also appreciated. Thanks!

For new and completely revised tricks and dark corners of STL go here: Hidden Features and Dark Corners of STL I've been using more "modern" c++ constructs for a while, but kind of superficially and not everywhere. I'm looking for open source projects to study that are good examples of Modern C++ and STL usage. Things like what is sugg...
I'm just starting to learn WPF and am interested in seeing some sample applications. These can either be applications written entirely for showcasing WPF features, or real-world applications written in WPF. Obviously the source code would need to be available. Does anyone have any suggestions? ...
With the myriad of sites available like sourceforge, github, berlios, rubyforge and many others for hosting open-source projects, I've been wondering if there is a specialised search engine out there that catalogues all the projects available on these different sites. I'm not talking about a search engine to search actual source code li...
Say I had an open-source project which I wanted to try and generate some exposure for. Would it be considered unethical to set up a project entry for it on several sites such at github, sourceforge and google code, for example? This would be purely for giving it greater exposure. I realise there might be some practical reasons for doi...
Just a quick question since I'm a little iffy on exactly how the GPL works. Say I am developing a hosted software-as-a-service application, and I've found a free GPL app that does 90% of what I was going to write myself. Can I: A) Take the code from the app, rebrand it by changing the name and/or logo and, without modifying a single l...
I want to make something similar to this, but I'd like to avoid proprietary platforms (flash). I'm relatively new to development and I'm willing to learn anything. I understand that some javascript frameworks like jQuery and MooTools are capable of some animation, but is this beyond their capability? What do you recommend? thanks ...
I'm looking for a open source projects of a decent size (30K+ LOC) that have a bug tracking system which details the specific changes in the code required for each fix, preferably down to the line number. The project and the bug tracking information would need to be avaliable me to be of any use. This is for research into various metric...
Hi! My company uses git internally and we publish some of our work as an open source on Google Code which uses svn. (Should it support git, the problem would be probably the same.) The problem is that we publish only part of our repository, so using git-svn as described on http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/ImportingFromGit will not...
I've been tasked with setting up a wiki for our developers to share project information (Server IPs, Interface Documentation, Architecture Diagrams, etc). My manager has suggested Deki and I've also heard of MediaWiki and Twiki. One project here uses Trac but we don't need it's SVN capabilities and we'd like to have a WYSIWYG editor if p...
I've got a question about use of permissive-licensed (BSD, Apache, MIT, etc) source where the line may be heavily blurred between original code and borrowed code. We are more than happy to disclose a copyrights for original source as required by the licenses. The specific case I'm wondering about is how to correctly update source head...
I am trying to evaluate Open Source options to replace my current CMS based publication application. My current CMS has about 12000 HTML pages and about 100000 uploaded files. The size of the data is about 20 Gigabytes. Drupal, Joomla and Plone seem interesting. However, I am concerned if these are ready to take on all this data. Do you ...
I'm building a website that will be an open-source, user-contributed content kind of thing, and I think if developers had access to nightly production SQL dumps, they'd be more likely to check out the code from github and play with it. In line with that idea, I'm considering either: Not collecting private user information at all, usin...
